Biografie ๐Ÿ“… 21 Maart 1960 ๐Ÿ“ Zuid-Afrika

Police opened fire on an unarmed protest against pass laws, killing 69 people at Sharpeville and also killing protesters at Langa in Cape Town. The massacre demonstrated the violence used to enforce restrictions on Black movement and political assembly. It marked a strategic crisis for the liberation movement; it should not be narrated as if Mandela were present at Sharpeville.
